How to Clean UGGs?

UGGs are made of suede/sheepskin, which is delicate — so you clean them with minimal water, a suede brush, and a gentle cleaner rather than soaking or machine washing.

What you need:

• A suede brush (or soft toothbrush)
• UGG cleaner/conditioner (or a mild suede cleaner)
• Cold water
• A clean cloth or sponge
• White vinegar (optional, for stains)

Step-by-step:

1. Brush off dry dirt. Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and revive the nap. Never scrub dry suede hard.
2. Lightly dampen the surface. Wet the entire outer surface evenly with a little cold water using a sponge — dampening the whole boot helps avoid water rings.
3. Apply cleaner. Put a small amount of UGG or suede cleaner on a wet sponge and gently clean the surface. For stains or salt marks, a 50/50 white-vinegar-and-water dab can help.
4. Blot, don't rub. Wipe away excess with a clean damp cloth.
5. Stuff and shape. Fill the boots with paper towels or a rolled towel to hold their shape while drying.
6. Air dry slowly. Dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight, radiators, or heaters — heat damages sheepskin and can cause shrinking.
7. Brush again once fully dry to restore the soft suede texture.

Avoid: Machine washing, soaking, hot water, and drying with heat — all can ruin the shape and material. A suede/water protector spray helps prevent future stains.
